It really irks me that Maxis killed off Lyla... I wish that they would've just moved her into the family bin. This is almost implied in the storytelling images, so why did she end up in Olive's yard? Gosh!

That woman apparently abandoned all three of her children with a guy like General Grunt, she got what was coming to her...

but being a romance sim it's unlikely she wanted any kids;and since she had nowhere to go it'd be a bit bad to bring her children with her.

Actually while they are being apprehensive about birthing children, Romance Sims tend to be pretty involved with any kids they do manage to get past the Toddler stage, and if she didn't want them she shouldn't have spawned any larvae in the first place. Now they were there and her responsibility.

And leaving them with an abusive father who likes to beat up his neighbors (and is a racist) is even worse.

I've always looked at Buzz as a guy who loves his kids more than anything, but he doesn't necessarily know how to "show it", in a sense. That, and obviously his parents (and grandparents, and probably even farther back in the family tree) all were raised with the"military" lifestyle, and obviously in stereotypical depictions of military settings (military school, primarily) you'll see they don't do anything that's considered "non-manly" such as playing with toys, or whatever else and they are very strict and are all business. The Grunt family totally fits this whole stereotype perfectly; Just like how the Smith family ,in my mind, fits the "oddball family" stereotype you see sometimes in movies / shows.

In my hood, Buzz has been jailed for life for murdering Lyla. His memories show that they had a fight and broke up, and she died right afterwards, so it doesn't seem an unreasonable storyline. She just managed to drag herself as far as Olive's house but died of her injuries (Olive is not a murderess in this hood; she's a death doula - she helps 'birth' people into the Otherworld only when their time has come).

I'm just wondering whether it's good for the longevity of the neighbourhood to kill off and grill baby sims...

The game didn't intend for Sims to be able to die in their larval stages, and even with child ghosts there are some problems...so how does the game deal with the dead babies caused by that mod?
Do they get a gravestone? Does it cause corruption?

I'm confused....

Pescado was a smart guy who always babbled on about corruption (as far back as 2005) so I think he didn't make it so it corrupts the neighborhood which the poor baby lived in. I think it kills them but doesn't give a gravestone since, as you said, child ghosts have issues by themselves, so obviously a baby would / could have even worse issues since the game would probably throw up (meaning it wouldn't know what the heck to do).
